Hypothermia and the newborn's bath in the first hours of life. / Hipotermia e banho do recém-nascido nas primeiras horas de vida.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the occurrence of hypothermia in neonates before and after bathing in the first hours of life. METHOD: a cross-sectional study in which the axillary temperature of newborns before bathing, after bathing, 30 and 60 minutes after bathing was verified at an Obstetric Center. In the statistical analysis, the Chi-Square, Student's t and Mann-Whitney tests were used, with α = 0.05. RESULTS: A total of 149 newborns were included in the study, showing the prevalence of neonatal hypothermia in 40.3% of the cases, with a statistically significant association (p <0.001) between the occurrence of neonatal hypothermia at all axillary temperature assessments. A statistically significant correlation was found between the variables: room temperature and temperature verification 60 minutes after bath (p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the first bath can be postponed to favor the adaptation of the neonate to the extrauterine environment, preventing the occurrence of neonatal hypothermia.

Resumo OBJETIVO analisar a ocorrência de hipotermia em recém-nascidos antes e após o banho nas primeiras horas de vida. MÉTODO estudo transversal, no qual se verificou a temperatura axilar de recém-nascidos antes do banho, após o banho, 30 minutos após o banho e 60 minutos, no Centro Obstétrico. Na análise estatística utilizou-se os Testes Qui-Quadrado, t de Student e Mann-Whitney, com α = 0,05. RESULTADOS Foram incluídos 149 recém-nascidos no estudo, evidenciando-se a prevalência de hipotermia neonatal em 40,3% dos casos, tendo associação com significância estatística (p< 0,001) entre a ocorrência de hipotermia neonatal em todos os momentos de verificação de temperatura axilar. Constatou-se correlação estatística significativa entre as variáveis: temperatura da sala de parto e a verificação da temperatura 60 minutos após o banho (p= 0,032). CONCLUSÕES Conclui-se que o primeiro banho pode ser adiado para favorecer a adaptação do neonato ao ambiente extrauterino, prevenindo a ocorrência de hipotermia neonatal.

Cross-cultural adaptation and clinical validation of the Neonatal Skin Condition Score to Brazilian Portuguese.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the process of cross-cultural adaptation and clinical validation of the Neonatal Skin Condition Score. METHODS: This methodological cross-cultural adaptation study included five steps: initial translation, synthesis of the initial translation, back translation, review by an Committee of Specialists and testing of the pre-final version, and an observational cross-sectional study with analysis of the psychometric properties using the Adjusted Kappa, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, and Bland-Altman Method statistical tests. A total of 38 professionals were randomly recruited to review the clarity of the adapted instrument, and 47 newborns hospitalized in the Neonatology Unit of the Clinical Hospital of Porto Alegre were selected by convenience for the clinical validation of the instrument. RESULTS: The adapted scale showed approximately 85% clarity. The statistical tests showed moderate to strong intra and interobserver item to item reliability and from strong to very strong in the total score, with a variation of less than 2 points among the scores assigned by the nurses to the patients. CONCLUSIONS: The scale was adapted and validated to Brazilian Portuguese. The psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Neonatal Skin Condition Score instrument were similar to the validation results of the original scale.

OBJETIVO: descrever o processo de adaptação transcultural e validação clínica para uso no Brasil da Neonatal Skin Condition Score. MÉTODOS: trata-se de estudo metodológico de adaptação transcultural, incluindo cinco etapas: tradução inicial, síntese da tradução inicial, retrotradução, avaliação por um Comitê de Especialistas e testagem da versão pré-final e estudo transversal observacional com análise das propriedades psicométricas, utilizando os testes estatísticos de Kappa Ajustado, coeficiente de correlação intraclasse e método de Bland-Altman. Recrutaram-se, aleatoriamente, 38 profissionais para avaliação da clareza do instrumento adaptado e, por conveniência, 47 recém-nascidos internados na Neonatologia do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, para a validação clínica do instrumento. RESULTADOS: os resultados demonstraram 85% de clareza da escala adaptada. Os testes estatísticos evidenciaram confiabilidades intra e interobservador item a item de moderada a forte e, no escore total de forte a muito forte, houve variação entre os escores atribuídos pelos enfermeiros aos pacientes menor que 2 pontos. CONCLUSÕES: a escala foi adaptada e validada para uso no português falado no Brasil. As propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Condição da Pele do Recém-Nascido, versão brasileira do instrumento, apresentaram resultados semelhantes à validação da escala original. .
